Korean dessert cafe on the 2nd level of Korea Town Centre near Lougheed, Burnaby. Mostly known for their bingsoo (shaved ice). Interior not that big, but for a dessert place it's not too small, with some trendy interior. . Was pretty lively and busy on a random weeknight, but maybe because holiday period where students are out of school, but we snagged an open table before the place got full. Order at the counter and they'll call your number to get the food. Waited for 5 mins for our order. We got the red bean bingsoo. Pretty substantial serving of shaved ice with red bean, shaved almond, raisin, and other toppings. I like that the toppings weren't super sweet, but they also give a small cup of condensed milk to up the sweetness. Portion is definitely for sharing unless you want to eat dessert for a meal. read more

We came to Sulbing in Burnaby to try the Oreo Chocolate Bingsoo -- it was okay, but not something I'd rush back for. The shaved milk ice itself wasn't very saturated or creamy, and there was a lot of cocoa powder, which made it taste kind of dry overall. I didn't leave feeling super satisfied. That said, the service was great! The staff was really friendly and honest -- when I asked about the mango bingsoo, the person helping us let me know the mangos weren't ripe yet and might taste a bit tart, which I appreciated. Also, there's plenty of seating, so it's a nice place to hang out and chat without feeling rushed. read more

I went here for a dessert after eating Ramen. Green Tea Bingsoo ($19.95) was a good dessert to finish with. The dessert itself was alright. The staff helped me using my gift card transaction. I like how there were small bowls were included with Bingsoo for sharing. Rice cakes were hard and frozen. We ate everything except for rice cakes. It was good overall. read more

Just had the green tea bingsu to share between the two of us for post anniversary dinner dessert.. was nice to have a lighter sweet treat on such a warm summer night.. the place smells so bad - like a cross between a well ripened durian and a bad mold problem... I didn't see durian on the menu so I assume the smell is related to the latter.. service was not good.. the counter person was borderline rude .. bingsoo was good.. the shaved milk was light and fluffy but not milky or creamy like in Korea.. the red bean rice cake topping was the pre-packaged, shelf stable kind of rice cake - not a fan.. we still finished it lol read more

I am a huge Matcha lover, but neither of these desserts satisfied my Matcha craving-- I'd say it's quite hard to mess up on both. The highlight of both desserts were the ice cream scoops that it came with. Otherwise, I'd say the shaved ice and toast were pretty much Matcha-less in terms of the taste. There was an overwhelming amount sweetness from other ingredients, but it just more or less lacked the taste of matcha. If you like your food sweeter, I think you'd enjoy this. For the price that was paid, I'd expect a little bit more from the portion sizes-- it's a little on the higher side compare to some other bingsoo places. If you are looking for a late night spot to hang with your friend, this is the place to be! I find myself craving bingsoo often and Sulbing would be one of the few opened late night. There is a decent amount of tables/chairs, and it's always busy when I go. Tables are usually a little l sticky, and I'd wipe it myself. But they will gladly wipe for you if you ask them to. Overall, service isn't bad, but it's not excelling. It's not usually my first choice for bingsoo, but I come here when other places are closed. read more

We have been looking for a close-to-home bingsoo source since Snowy Village closed in Coquitlam, so finding this one is both a joy and a relief. The room is a bit too loud, but there are plenty of tables, and this is clearly a popular spot with the K-Pop fans and families of all ages. Creative and simple, beautiful decor... very Korean. And bingsoo! We had the mango, just as it comes ... which is a LOT to share for 2. We also ordered the tayaki toast, which is teeny (excellent crispy toast to filling ratio) but you get 6, and it is served with a big blob of real whipped cream, sprinkled with oreo crumbs. And odd scent of durian made us speculate about something hidden on the menu, or someone's lunch stored in the same freezer... The vanilla ice cream is served a bit too cold to eat as the frozen milk shaving is melting, and thr shaving is a bit too sweet and rich to need the side of "cream." Cheerful, fast service, and a helpful serve-yourself menu / pay stand. They do not take cash. read more

Came by here for some quick desserts and to subdue that HOT HOT afternoon. I had such a busy day with friends and wanted some Bingsuu to hang out with friends and found this place. We all ordered together as a group and we decided to share some bingsu. So we ordered the Mango Cheese & Strawberry Tree. The Mango Cheese was kinda delicious, but for sure needed more cheese bites, as there were only like 4 pieces. It did though come with more condensed milk, which we only added a little because most of the mango should be sweet during this time of the year. The Strawberry Tree is literally Matcha ice cream on top of a mountain of strawberries. We decided to pour the condensed milk on this one because the strawberries were a little sour, but none the less with the condensed milk it was pretty delicious after that. Not a bad place for bingsu but only enough just to come check it out. read more

I'm a plaza with convenient parking. The place was spacious and bright. Free wi-fi. We came here two days in a row. The first night we ordered at 11:30 pm and a mad rush of people came in to order last minute on a Friday night. We got our order at 11:45 pm and was politely told they need to clear the plates by 11:55 pm. My friend and I felt pressured to scoff down the bing app with an attempt to not get brain freeze. We ordered the strawberry and there was red bean in the bottom of the bing soo. Nevertheless, we can back the next day and ordered the premium strawberry. This was nicely dawned with a towering piece of cheesecake. The bing soo was nice and fluffy that kept its consistency without melting too quickly. Strawberries were fresh and sweet, not too overly soaked in syrup. read more

Recently after Covid-19, i have seen many new Korean desert shops n cafes and this one is students hot spot. Opened till late hours, this cafe has enough seating to accommodate 15-20 people and most of the order is taken out / delivery. They have special packing to avoid ice-cream melt. Very good , colourful and flavourful types of shaved ice-cream is available along with waffles. There are drinks as well but i ordered mango ice cream waffle. Omg... amazing read more

Bing Sio feels like this hidden treasure that only some people are lucky enough to know about. Shaved ice with cereal, fresh fruit ... what's not to love? This place serves it up right, with fresh fruit and generous portions. Super clean restaurant and lots of seating.

Checked out this bingsoo cafe located on North Road. The cafe is spacious, but music is a bit loud. Ordered the Oreo chocolate bingsoo and the injeolmi bingsoo. Both came out relatively quickly and presentation was well put together. The injeolmi was fresh and they layered it so you aren't left with just shaved ice. Knocked off a star bec they probably could have put more injeolmi on it. The Oreo chocolate was well done and delicious as well. Must try dessert place! read more

We'd spotted Sulbing Cafe on our walk over to dinner. My buddy J has never had bingsu before so of course we went for his sake. They apparently have over 500 franchise stores around the world. This branch is located next door to Busan Daeji Gukbap Korean Restaurant. We dropped in on a Thursday evening (around 9:00pm) and it was still half full. Hilarious that they have instructions on the wall on how to eat bingsu properly. They give you a buzzer and ring you when your order is ready. The menu is split into shaved ice bingsu (15 options), dessert, waffles, winter comfort food and drinks. Of course, they have plastic models of their bingsu flavours. - Green tea (#5) ($12.95) - we tried out their green tea bingsu which came with two scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, red bean mochi and a side of condensed milk. The only thing that saved this from being disastrous was the ice cream. Creamy and good green tea flavour. The texture of the shaved ice itself was awful; clumpy, bland and shockingly flavourless. There are so many better options for bingsu. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Great place for good late night desserts. There are quite a few tables for seating. The variety of the menu is quite good, with fruit, chocolate, and other dessert bingsoo available. The portion sizes are good for 2-4 people. The last time I went there I got the chocolate bingsoo and the injeolmi mochi ice cream. The ice cream ended up being the star of the night- it was delicious, creamy and went with the mochi underneath so well. This place is one of the better dessert places open late night in Coquitlam, and thus remains a staple hangout spot. read more

We ordered Mango Cheese and Matcha sulbing and both orders were pretty bland and tasteless. What makes Bingsoo specially good is their shaved ice is made out of milk. Sulbing's shaved ice is made out of watered down milk if not pure water. Sulbing's shaved ice did not have a hint of any flavour. Mango syrup tasted very artificial. Matcha was only a very thin layer that made the sulbing rather tasteless. Service-wise, the guys manning the front counter stayed seated and on mobile devices when we walked into their establishment. I had to literally check if they were open when one of them finally decided to walk up to the counter to take our orders. Service was super unfriendly and unwelcoming to say the least. Our final verdict was that the food Sulbing serves is as bland and emotionless as the service they provide. I strongly suggest avoiding this place. Go to Snowy Village or Sulmida instead. read more

I hold an expectation that it is going to be like slushy & overly sweet with syrup. But this place totally change my perspective and I can't help myself and taking bites after bites. I love the strawberry one because it surprises you with red beans at the bottom. The shaved ice is well flavoured which accompany each bowl very well. read more

So happy to see Sulbing Cafe here in Vancouver! Got the Red-bean Injeolmi, and it was amazing! The red bean was SUPER fresh and really added a kick to the whole bingsu. Service was quick and friendly and the ambiance of the cafe really reminded me of when I went to Korea! Definitely coming back to try more of their items! read more

This cafe is in a great location. Nice decor and a great ambiance. The shaved ice is very ordinary. There is nothing too special about it. I've tried the brownie flavoured one twice now and I would say is good for what it is. I also tried the chocolate bread and I have to say this one was super disappointing. It was just two slices of regular bread slapped together with some chocolate sauce and some nuts sprinkles on top (waste of money). The place also claims to close at midnight (12am) we were asked to leave at 11:47pm in a fairly rude manner. I have not been to a place where customers are asked to leave before the given closing time. They wanted to clean up and have the cafe close by 12am. I was really disappointed by this because we would have gladly left at 12am. The y should have informed us in advance so we could have gone elsewhere. Very selfish thing to do for a business. We will not be returning to this place for shaved ice or anything for that matter. I hope you have a better experience if you do visit. :( read more

Sulbing is a popular South Korean dessert chain. This is their first location in Canada. They specialize in their own version of bingsu (Korean shaved ice). After a few visits, I have to say Sulbing is now one of my favorite bingsu places that I've tried so far (other favorites are in LA). I prefer the flavour/texture of the bingsu here compared to many local competitors. To the ladies out there, bingsu is mainly composed of water + other liquids. We all know you can eat a whole one yourself! *Please* let us guys have our own bingsu! When we're with you, we have to share our bingsu. Otherwise, if we don't, it makes us look like jerks. But trust me, we secretly want an entire bingsu all to ourselves (we just can't say it in front of you)! So far at Sulbing, I've had injeolmi (rice cake), green tea, strawberry, and chocolate brownie bingsu ... all shared.  *sob*  T_T I need to make a solo trip or do a boys' night out to Sulbing so I can finally have a bingsu (or two) all to myself... If you think I'm being serious, I'm really not. I'm totally kidding! Bingsu is perfect for sharing!! But I'd be lying if I said it never crossed my mind to eat a few myself ... the bingsu here is that good! read more

We ordered the Pizza Tteokbokki thinking that it would be like an actual pizza. I mean it's in the name! We were expecting a plush bready crust surrounded a layer of spicy tteokbokki and cheese. Turns out we were wrong about the pizza part. The rice cakes came in a medium sized cast iron pan with an almost paste-like dough covering a layer of tteokboki. The tteokbokki wasn't very chewy because the heat from the "pizza" trapped more heat which made them softer. They were however, on the spicy side so they hit the mark on that. There was some cheese on top but not enough to warrant a cheese stretch of any kind. The dough around the outside was pretty much inedible because of how dry and tortilla like it was. I mean the filling was tasty but I would not call it a "pizza" by any means read more

Are you craving for dessert? This is a must go to place. Love love love! It's winter but I don't mind shaved ice. Personally I love chocolate. Get one. I can be to share. I don't like strawberries so much but my husband ordered it and I'm now a fan!!! The mango looks delicious and I'll try that next time. Place can get quite noisy but they open till late. Good place to hangout with friends. Come and close the night with good dessert and time with friends. read more

This is my new favourite go-to dessert place! I would suggest going to Sulbing Cafe on a weekday during the day, as we made the bad decision of going on a Friday evening. The cramped space was packed with customers and we had to wait a while to find seating. However, the wait for the Strawberry Tree was well worth it--this was the most delicious dessert I have ever tasted! Despite how crazy busy it was, you could tell that they didn't rush to make it. Everything was well-presented, fresh and tasty. read more

Sulbing is like a korean chained shaved ice dessert shop from korea, and this location is located in Lougheed! They have all sorts of shaved ice dessert that looks super delicious on the menu. We wanted something warmer so we got the injeolmi toast which was basically a sandwiched toast with Mochi-like rice cake filling inside and topped with crushed almond and injeolmi powder. The toast inside was a bit smaller than we anticipated, but the warmness of the toast made the rice cake filling more chewy and melty! The cafe space is pretty big and has plenty of seating available. Great place to come in groups read more

We were running late, so thought about ordering online from the app. Collected the order and were in the middle of having our shaved ice cream. A waitress came in, interrupted in between our meal and asked us to leave since online orders can't be eaten in the cafe, WTF! You should have told us in the beginning, not when we are half way through our meal? WORST experience till date in Canada! read more

One place I always love going to in Burquitlam, is definitely this place. I really like their desserts, especially since its always so tasty! I do wish they limit the seating time in the store, because its limited seating and some people are there studying or chatting without any food or dishes on the table, while there are lineups outside forming. (Please note we went here right before the new covid restrictions, they offer take out now) * Mango cheese Bingsu ($15.95) ~ This was delicious all the mango pieces were extremely sweet, and good. I also loved the cheesecake incorporated on top of the dessert as well. Mango and cheesecake is definitely an amazing combination! Their ice is sweet already, but the ice cream is delicious, its different than original vanilla its more of a yogurt based ice cream which I really enjoyed added sweetness and a slight bit of tart to the dessert. * Also photographed ; Strawberry Bingsu ($15.95) * 8/10 ~ I really enjoyed the dessert, I do wish they had cheesecake pieces as it was mainly mango, and like a few bites of cheesecake. * 7/10 ~ they aren't cheap here, but its a good sharable portion. Total bill for the mango cheese before tip: $17.86 * 8/10 ~ prior to covid when we went, despite the tables social distanced, there was a lot of people, from those dining in to those waiting to get their take out orders. They do take your name/contact info down. read more

Came across this place while we were wandering in this Korean complex. Since it's so hot, we decided to check it out. The place is spacious enough with lots of tables and chairs. But it gets busy so you may have to wait for a table. We got the mango and cheese bingsu and a red bean injeomi. They give you a buzzer to let you know that your order is ready. The shaved ice was super fine and soft. I thought the cheese with the mango would be weird but it works. The rice cake in the injeolmi was also wonderful. It's got the right chewiness. This is meant for sharing so it's good that they we're not stingy with the spoons and bowls. There also iced water that you can get for yourself after your bing su binge. Will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Green Tea Chocolate $13.95 Review: There's never a wrong season to eat bingsoo, even if it's winter time Bingsoo is bingsoo and it's always good- to be honest I don't have much to say about it but I think it looks really pretty and I'm bored so I'll pass time by posting and writing a review In Sulbing, they freeze milk instead of water so it's shaved milk instead of shaved ice! This bingsoo was topped off by two big scoops of green tea ice cream, cocoa powder, matcha powder and chcolate drizzle. On the side on the bingsoo, there are also small chunks of brownie When you continue to eat into the bingsoo, you're met with a sweet surprise of Oreo which is hidden in the middle! Sulbing is a bit more expensive than Snowy Village but Sulbing gives bigger portions and it's less sweet :)) I'll definitely come again but I really want to try strawberry since I love strawberry everything Rating: 9/10 read more

Came here on full stomachs but still managed to fully enjoy some shaved ice! Always in the mood for korean shaved ice since they use sweetened and flavoured milk instead of traditional plain ice. The interior is really comfortable and I could see myself spend quite a bit of time here with a group of friends. Although I do prefer Passion 8 if you're more into softer and fluffier shaved ice! But Sulbing has my stamp of approval read more

My usual choice would have been the mango, but since it was out of season I decided to get strawberry.

Excited to see more korean dessert places pop up in the lougheed area. Came here after dinner for some dessert and was quite satisfied! They have a pretty good selection for bing soo (shaved ice) and so we shared the #1 injeolmi shaved ice. Typically shaved ice comes with the flavouring on top but was happy to see there was injeolmi flavouring in the middle as well! Bonus points :) We also ordered a side of the fish cakes with red bean inside and that was a little disappointing. They were quite small and were not fresh with very little red bean inside Would've been better if they came out a little warm but I'm assuming they are made in the beginning of the day. Would have loved to try other flavours but will definitely visit again. read more

I was super excited when I know new dessert snow ice place open near my house. They have quite a lot of selection and price is okay. The rate is based on their injeolmi snow ice (because most of the time I order injeolmi for snow ice), so I ordered their ijoelmi (#1), one thing I like about their snow ice is it's not too milky (sweet) because they put the condensed milk on the side. One thing tho, I think it will be way way way better if they make the snow ice with ijoelmi taste (instead of just put the powder on the top and BOTTOM!! (so this is why i give extra star, the other places just put the ijoelmi powder on the top). I will say this will be my second favourite snow ice place for now. The place is really good for hangout with your friends and have nice lighting to take picture (for your instagram or yelp hahaa!) read more

Pretty darn delicious. I'm relatively new to the bingsu craze, I've never been one to prioritize shaved ice as a must have dessert, but SulBing has sparked something in me. I've shared 3 flavours to date and my favorite - most surprising - is the Injeolmi with Red Bean. I like my desserts sweet, but there's something about this Injeolmi that had a nice subtle sweetness from the red bean, strong nutty flavour from the almonds and chewy texture thanks to the mochi. The combination together is stellar. Additionally, the condense milk also kicks it up a notch, you just drizzle it on top. The also have a chocolate toast that I really enjoyed. It was also filled with warm mochi. My only minor complaint is that i wish it had been made with a flaky bread instead of plain bread. The interior is quite pretty, clean and airy. Great place to catch up with friends. It can get busy at night with millennials hanging out which means they can sit for a long time. It is fairly pricey for the type of dessert -ice.... 3 bingsu and 1 toast came to about $50. However, given a special treat day, it's a nice trendy place to hang out. read more
